GCF is a fund within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
It was founded as a mechanism to assist developing countries in adaptation and mitigation practices to counter climate change.
GCF regional advisor to the Pacific, Coral Pasisi said there’re a wide range of criteria that countries must follow when writing up their proposals.
The four key areas around mitigation are transport, forest and land use, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
